It's been a great year for singles around here, and tonight is certainly no exception to that. I've got a huge pile of 45's that I'm always adding to, and I'm always saying I need to record more of it. The stuff I've shared this year has made exactly no dent in the pile, but it's better than nothing. This 45 tonight is something I didn't even know I had, but I found it tonight while trying to clean out a box of stuff I bought a while back. Turns out the A-side of this single is a track that wasn't on Booker T. & The M.G.'s great Christmas LP (though the B-side is from that album), and it features Isaac Hayes on piano, so I'm pretty surprised it's as obscure as it is. Do yourself a favor and download Booker T. & The M.G.'s-Winter Snow b/w Silver Bells (Stax 7" 45 RPM 45-236, Mono, 1967). Plenty of organ here, but no chimes, sorry.

Got Vinyl?

Ernie's Christmas record want list. There might be something in that stack of Christmas records you want to throw out that I need. Actually, there's a lot more that I need that I don't know about, so send 'em all to me (especially singles)! (Revised 03 March 2018)
